Vendee Globe

Today will see the end of a gruelling 84 days at see for the leader of the Vendee Globe, Michel Desjoyeaux. he has increased his lead constantly since taking over from Mike Golding, who had to abandon the race when his mast broke in the Southern Ocean. He is a full 1200 miles ahead of his nearest rival. There are now only twelve skippers out of the original thirty that started 84 days ago, but I am pleased to see that the only two girls in the race, Dee Cafari and Sam Davies are still going strong. and it looks like the first Brit over the Line will be Sam who is currently in Fourth Position. ( Go girl) Four of the Seven brits that started are still racing and i will be following over the next few days as they near the finish.
Have a great Sunday everyone
